Well since Hostingbytes is STILL down for whatever reason...... people may or may not be able to see most (if not all) of my previous work linked from HB.

That said, I spent the past couple hours working on this:

Made a movie poster for a webcomic I'm thinking about possibly creating......

Synopsis: Fresh from rising quickly through the ranks of NASCAR, second-generation driver John Mullen finds himself on the Winston Cup scene, where he must overcome danger, tragedy, and his rival - veteran racer George McRielly - in a race to win the biggest prize of stock-car racing.... The NASCAR Winston Cup Series Championship!

Basically, I'm thinking of ways to incorporate a way to tell a story in the world of NASCAR/motorsports in general in the webcomic medium. So far I've thought of a few elements that could theoretically work, but so far my brain has visualized more "cinematic" versions of the story.......

..... Maybe I should start thinking more like an artist and less like a NASCAR fan.....

Say, out of curiosity: I know in some mangas they use cell-shaded 3D renders for background elements (a good example in Negima, tons of backgrounds were prerendered), do you think you would be able to do that?

I do not. I am not expereinced enough with Autodesk's 3DS Max to figure out how to create and/or add cell shading to environments (ones that I would have to create from scratch as well), and I don't believe NASCAR Racing 2003 Season (the game I use for my league) is capable of rendering in a cell shading format.

Man, it's getting to the point where I'm on average only updating once every 3 months..... and I only updated a month ago!

So there's this racing league that I DON'T run *le gasp* that I am part of, called the Sim Racing Design Cup Series.

Here's my cars for said series:

I plan on doing up a retro DeviantArt car, a new tiger car, and a few other things in a bit

Did I say "new tiger car"? I meant new Twokinds scheme.

But yeah, I've decided to slightly move away from the 100% tiger car and move more or less over to an ACTUAL scheme that shows off the Twokinds colors. I still kept the tiger stripes though :3

I've been making "headshots" of various drivers in the NAVRAR DeviantArt Cup Series to use on tickers and such (such as the ones in the starting grid ticker from January or the one in my avatar), and the latest one I've made is for Mihari.

I've also, in vengeance for Toyota axing off-spring manufacturer Scion, switched all Toyota drivers over to the Scion platform. Of course with Toyota being the (now former) owners of Scion, the Toyota sponsorship for Mihari still works

More driver headshots! This time, it's Miles Lionheart up for the photo shoot! The first suit shown is Miles' "retro" suit, which is similar in coloring to Dale Earnhardt Sr.'s suit back when he was still alive and racing. The retro suit is what Miles will wear for the races he drives his black #3 retro, which is meant to be basically Dale Sr.'s 2000 Diehard 500/Fall Talladega car in which Sr. earned his final career win.

The second suit is Miles' default/primary suit in which he wears when he's racing in his primary scheme or his alternate silver scheme.

In case you're wondering why Trace looks older, it's because I also have his daughter racing in the series as well...... Mainly since the child isn't born yet (and thus it being a girl is totally my own head canon/fanon) from 24-year-old Trace's point of view. It'd be like Trunks fighting alongside/against Vegeta during the Android/Cell arc in DBZ.....

I'm in the middle of "rebranding" my racing league, and since I am, I figured I would include more manufacturers than I have in the past, including throwing Toyota back into the mix. Because of that (and because she stated herself that she's a fan of Toyota), I figured I would move her back there. Toyota also made a surprising announcement shortly before the 2017 NASCAR season began stating that they would use their 2018 model year Camry in favor of the 2015 one (shown a few posts above this one), and because of that, my league will be doing the same.... So the above car is on a 2018 Toyota instead of a Scion tC or a 2015 Toyota.
